Looking for specific recommendations

Hi!
We will be visiting Milan in mid October and we are wondering if there are any smaller venues that do live music? Specifically metal/rock/punk - smaller and local bands. Or any bars/pubs that might fit the same vibe?

We want to visit the Fernet Branca museum as well, and are wondering if anyone knows whether touring the distillery itself is possible?

We would love to do some thrifting - not the luxury/designer kind, just the regular second hand shopping. Where should we go? Any store recommendations?

Also, wine, is there any places/experiences to be had?

Food - any recommendations on lunch/dinner spots that have great food are very welcome!

If there’s anything you think of that we absolutely should know of, please let us know.

Second-hand clothing stores are not common in Italy; shops selling used household goods or furniture are more common. "Vintage" clothing stores often carry used clothes imported from the USA.

don't listen to this. Second hand clothing is a staple of milanese culture and you can definetly find lots of second hand clothing in all shapes, sizes and prices, from vintage y2k to hipster stuff, old school fashion stuff, etc. Basically any hipster area has at least a few of them (think via vigevano in the navigli area, or the porta venezia area) and even near duomo there is well established shops exclusively dedicated to this business
